Chapter 39: The Hunt (10)

[Qingqiu, Erhulan's palace tent]

Outside the palace tent, it was very cold; inside, it was very warm. Yet Winters was burning with anxiety, not daring to stay for even a moment.

"Why are you here?" Winters tried to get up.

Erhulan hurriedly supported Winters, her voice barely audible, "I've been here the whole time."

Winters stumbled as he reached for his clothes, not daring to meet Erhulan's eyes, because in truth, the White Lion had already informed him: Erhulan was in Qingqiu.

"The hunting outfit you took off has been stained with blood." Erhulan gracefully picked up the clothing, helping Winters dress, "This is a new set; I'm not sure if it will fit."

All Winters could do was softly murmur "Mm-hmm," in response.

Dressing in winter was a painful affair, especially with undergarments. The fabric, devoid of warmth, would be as cold as ice and as hard as stone, making the process of putting them on feel like being dipped in icy water.
